Entry into Farming: The Effects of Leasing and Leverage on Firm Survival Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A whole-farm simulation model was used to analyze the effects of machinery leasing and debt financing on the survival of new entrants into agriculture. Investing beginning capital in debt-financed cropland and leasing machinery increases the chances of survival more than the usual method of entry, namely, leasing cropland and debt-financing machinery.-from Authors
